SING!
Trooper Sing, of the 2nd Light Horse Brigade, on the right, was said to have sniped his two hundredth Turk.
But his name and fame had not spread all around the lines, for a Staff Officer, in visiting the snipers of Quinn’s Post, came upon a Light Horseman who, very justifiably, was priding himself upon having definitely hit twelve of the enemy.
“Did you hear that fellow Sing on the right of the line——” began the Staff Officer.
“Well, sir, they don’t sing in front of me,” put in the Quinn’s Post man promptly. “They’re too b—— well frightened!”
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT AN ANZAC ALPHABET
A was the Anguish that spread o’er my face
When I saw the remarkable look of the place.
B’s “Beachy Bill,” who fired at my ship—
Punctured the funnel and gave me the “pip.”
C was the “Crump” that went by with a screech
As I jumped from a lighter and fell on the beach.
D was the Daring I failed to display
When fragments of shrapnel came whizzing my way.
